New South Wales Consolidated Regulations

WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE LACHLAN REGULATED RIVER WATER SOURCE 2003 - REG 41

41 Available water determinations for regulated river (conveyance) access licences

(1) Available water determinations for regulated river (conveyance) access licences shall be made for the commencement of each water year and as required, during the water year, to provide a volume of water to licences in this category during the water year that is equal to:

(a) 0.0558 megalitres per unit share when the sum of available water determinations for regulated river (general security) access licences for the water year is zero megalitres per unit share,

(b) 0.0558 megalitres per unit share plus 0.0403 megalitres for each 0.01 megalitres per unit share of total available water determinations made for regulated river (general security) access licences in the water year when the sum of available water determinations for regulated river (general security) access licences for the water year is greater than zero but less or equal to 0.2 megalitres per unit share,

(c) 0.8620 megalitres plus 0.00172 megalitres for each 0.01 megalitres per unit share of total available water determinations in excess of 0.2 megalitres per unit share made for regulated river (general security) access licences in the water year when the sum of available water determinations for regulated river (general security) access licences for the water year is greater than 0.2 megalitres per unit share but less than 1 megalitre per unit share, and

(d) 1 megalitre per unit share when the sum of available water determinations for regulated river (general security) access licences for the water year is equal to or greater than 1 megalitre per unit share.

(2) The Minister may under section 45 (1) (b) of the Act and by notice published in the Gazette vary the provisions of subclause (1) if the Minister considers it is necessary to do so to reflect the actual conveyancing losses experienced by Jemalong Irrigation.

Note: The Available Water Determination rules above reflect the rules that applied to the conveyancing allowance for Jemalong Irrigation limited under the annual water allocation regime which preceded this Plan. Within the first year of the Plan it is expected that either these rules will be adjusted to reflect the actual losses likely to be experienced by Jemalong under the continuous accounting rules in this Plan or the regulated river (conveyance) licence will be converted into a regulated river (general security) access licence and a regulated river (high security) access licence.
